Abstract:
A propulsion system according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a geared architecture configured to drive a fan section including a fan, and a turbine section configured to drive the geared architecture. The turbine section has an exit point, and a diameter (Dt) defined as the outer diameter of a last blade airfoil stage in the turbine section at the exit point. A nacelle surrounds a core engine housing. The fan is configured to deliver air into a bypass duct defined between the nacelle and the core engine housing. A core engine exhaust nozzle is downstream of the exit point. A downstream most point of the core engine exhaust nozzle is defined at a distance (Lc or Ln) from the exit point.
